Answer to Question #156912 in Physics for joy

Question

Write down the relationship between speed, distance and time. What is the unit of speed? Is it scalar or vector? Why?

Answer 1

The relationship between speed, distance and time can be written as follows:

$$v=\dfrac{d}{t},$$

here, $v$ is the speed, $d$ is the distance, $t$ is the time.

The unit of speed is meter per second. Speed is a scalar, because it doesn't have a direction.
